Hello guys, im getting stuttering in all games and ive tried everything from forum and youtube and nothing worked... ive uninstalled / reinstalled Windows, drivers are updated, normal temps etc...

My specs are:
i9-9700k
rtx 2080
32gb ram 3200mhz
500gb M.2 SSD
850w PSU

Im getting tired of playing games and a lot of micro stutters happen... (sry for bad english btw)
 
One of the reasons for x16 slot/card running at x8 is dirty contacts and performance issues would be possible as a result.
I run this test and got this... Should i disable it as they say?

Hi,

This an obvious question to ask but have you cleaned out any dust from your CPU and GPU fans + all air vents in your system?

Have you reapplied a quality thermal paste onto the CPU?
